I love this moment, because it's the kind of things that truly gives depth to the character and also because it shows that for all of his wisdom, power, secrets, and regrets he is rather humble and "pay attention to the little things" unlike Voldemort and Grindlewald. It remind me of the scene in The Goblet of Fire where he nearly cuts his speech about the Tri-Wizard tournament to tell a joke to the twins.

this is interesting because on book 4 dumbledore confesses that hogwarts still has some secrets even to him. That one night he was looking for a restroom and found a room full of toilets that he never knew it was there. He then could not find it again. That was a nod to the room of requirement that would be discovered again on book 5.

Shame they didn't create a Muggle Wizard liaison office and put Jacob in charge. He would have been brilliant.

[@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275]

I'd watch a series where the Ministry implements a Muggle Information Office. They mainly have wizard who talk to other wizards, but those employed talk to muggles on staff. They have a (very) few muggles on staff who help wizards understand what the muggle world is like. Then those muggles live as much of a normal life as they can, to then give Information to the Wizards. The show is centered around a new muggle being shown the Wizarding World and the Ministry. Episode one is them being recruited and learning about the Wizarding World, episode two is orientation, episode three is getting used to everything. Then it grows from there.

[@alibabapirce9782]

i mean Jacob would be 76 during first harry potter book and we didnt really dive in to ministry stuff until 5th book so its quite unlikely that he would still be alive. additionally hes a polish imigrant in america so i doubt he could hold any place in english ministry either magic or muggle one

[@AMW1able]

such an office probably did exist. I mean, who do you think informs the parents of Muggleborns about what's happening with their child, Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and how to access it, etc?

[@TheHomerowKeys]

@@AMW1able That's in the books. When the muggle-born magical child comes of age, a Hogwarts staff member visits the home to deliver their letter and explain the situation. The ministry only has a hand in delegation of the issue to the school. Basically the ministry passes the problem off to the school.

2:04 Was Dumbledore indicating that the creature was in that box?

[@The2Khafre]

Yes, and No, he wanted to ensure that Newt took the wrong one. He knew that Newt WOULD take the ACTUAL case if he could. He also knew that if Newt showed up with a case that everyone there would assume that he had the real case since they were his creatures and direct most of their efforts in trying to capture him and the case. In truth, and as it turned out, the safest option was Bunty (who knew which case was the real one all along). In the end, he used Kowalski to indicate which case was the "real one" when he waived him off because everyone there would know and agree that Kowalski would be a terrible person to carry the real case primarily due to him being a muggle and not able to protect it magically. Newt seeing this, immediately went for that case, while Bunty just kept the REAL case next to her. I love that it was an extremely effective and calculated manipulation that only required a clear throat from him, and he simply just left everyone else to follow their instincts or instructions. I've always said Dumbledore should have been in Slytherin....

[@Spoopball]

An easy way to save the lore (which isn't officially stated) would be to say a student found the room for Dumbledore. Dumbledore was OP and the room exists for others that need help, thus it never showed up for him before because he never needed help (except for the bathroom incident). Akin to the blue shell never being accessible to the 1st place holder in Mario cart. A younger student could have seen Dumbledore wanting the room and in desperation to help their really cool teacher spawned the room, because the student "needed to help Dumbledore"

[@jordanjack4629]

Or, shocker, Dumbledore wasn't telling the whole truth. Because that definitely wasn't the case throughout the whole series. Oh wait... Or he was specifically saying he had never been within the potchamber room, and he couldn't find that room again. The Room of Requirement is several different rooms, not just one. Many people had found the Room of Hidden Things, but not the "real" Room of Requirement. It is stated that Dumbledore found the Mirror of Erised within the Room of Requirement, which means he probably had found the Room of Hidden Things before. He might not have known about that version of the Room of Requirement, but he obviously did know about some versions.

[@Spoopball]

@@jordanjack4629 The thing you proposed was commented like 50 thousand times already on this video. I was exercising restrain not to do that. Although I didn't state that, to be fair.

@@Spoopball Well, first of all, most of the comments are about Jacob Kowalski or about Depp being recast from what I can see, so there definitely aren't "50 thousand comments" about it. And most of the comments about the room are only saying the very first part of my comment, that he wasn't telling the truth, which was mostly just a cop out joke. I don't see a single mention of the Room of Hidden Things anywhere here. And even though you claim there are "50 thousand comments" about it, you still posted your comment 6 months after the video was even relevant, so it seemed to me like you were just ignoring the comments anyways.

They aren't religious symbols. They're the qilin and scenes of the walk of the qilin, and the text on it is in English, just in a stylized text that's a little hard to read. The temple where the walk of the qilin takes place is in Bhutan, a country in the Himilayas in between China and India, so the portkey is obviously stylized after that country.

[@sameersambrani2535]

@@tofu8676 Exactly my point. The room of requirement can at the most create a pathway but apparation and disapparation are still not possible within Hogwarts. Also in the movie, it is shown that both the Dumbledores protect Credence when the killing curse is fired from Grindelwald. While in the Goblet of Fire, Moody (barty crouch junior) clearly mentions that the avada kedavra curse cannot be blocked or intercepted by anything. You can dodge it but you cannot block it. Nor is there any counter curse. This movie is literally f**king up everything. Contradicting everything in the books.
